At Tradeline’s 35th annual animal research facilities conference you’ll get the latest details on what research organizations are doing to create robust, efficient, modern, and competitive research space and infrastructure for animal-based research programs of the future.
That includes facility innovations, space plans, planning rationales, metrics, features, and examples of in-design and recently completed capital project initiatives for animal research facilities involving:
- Renovations, upgrades, and modernization – spaces, systems, and equipment
- New construction and expansions – stand-alone and building-embedded spaces
- Repurposing – underutilized animal spaces, what to do, and how
- New digital technologies – conditions monitoring, data collection
- Performance metrics – new criteria for up-to-date, modern animal facilities
- Lean operational processes – workflows, logistics, methodologies
- Automation – cost-effective investments, low life-cycle costs
- New commissioning strategies – start-ups, re-verification
See how those capital project initiatives are meeting objectives for:
- Increased facility flexibility – new and changing research programs
- High space utilization – research capacity, limited facility resources
- Better research outcomes – findings, quality, repeatability
- Improved health and wellness – animals and workers
- Compliance, accreditation, and safety – agencies and associations, oversight and licensing
- Lower operating costs – labor, energy, consumables
- Increased research capacity – animals, people, equipment, programs
- Customized spaces – emerging and highly specialized research models
- High performance facilities – new criteria and benchmarks
